View SamplesThis study used tumour and paired normal samples from 28 Szary Syndrome (SS) patients to define recurrent regions of chromosomal aberrations. Our data identified recurrent losses of 17p13.2-p11.2 and 10p12.1-q26.3 occurring in 71 and 68% of cases respectively; common gains were detected for 17p11.2-q25.3 (64%) and chromosome 8/8q (50%). Moreover, we identified novel genomic lesions recurring in more than 30% of tumours: loss of 9q13-q21.33 and gain of 10p15.3-10p12.2. In the Szary Syndrome cases analysed, we could find several small and few large Uniparental Disomies involving interstitial or telomeric regions of LOH occurring mainly for chromosome 10 and to a lesser extent for chromosome 9 and 17. In the attempt to correlate Copy Number data and clinical parameters we find a relationship between complex pattern of chromosomal aberrations, involving at least three recurrent Copy Number alterations, and shorter survival. Integrating mapping and transcriptional data we were able to identify a total of 113 deregulated transcripts in aberrant chromosomal regions that included cancer related genes such as members of the NF-kB pathway (BAG4, BTRC, NKIRAS2, PSMD3, TRAF2) that might explain its constitutive activation in CTCL. Matching this list of genes with those discriminating patients with different survival times we identify several common candidates that might exert critical roles in Szary Syndrome, like BUB3 and PIP5K1B.

View SamplesCaspases are cysteine-proteases with key roles in the execution phase of apoptosis. Additional cellular activities, unrelated to cell death seem to be influenced by these enzymes. Identification of genes co-regulated with caspases could help to ascertain new biological roles for these proteases.To identify genes and pathways under the influence of caspase-2 we silenced its expression in U87MG glioblastoma cell line. Transcriptional expression profiles of cells transfected with caspase-2 siRNA or control siRNA were compared.

Integrated approaches to miRNAs target definition: time-series analysis in an osteosarcoma differentiative model.
Specimen part, Cell line, Time
View SamplesPurpose: The goal was to capture the transcriptional activity due to over-expression of HER2 protein. We profiled this transcriptional activity using two different RNA-Seq alignment and quantification pipelines. We also used these samples to generate a gene expression signature of HER2 pathway activity. Over-expression was validated using Western blots. Illumina RNA-Seq technology was used to capture the downstream transcriptional activity. Reads were 101 base pairs long and single ended. An R open source package “Rsubread” was used to align and quantify the read using UCSC hg19 annotation. The integer-based gene counts were later normalized in FPKM and TPM . Overall design: A profile of gene expression, downstream of ERBB2/HER2 over-expression, was generated in cells derived from breast and used to generate a gene-expression signature reflective of HER2 pathway activation status.

View SamplesPurpose: Unlike in most adult-onset cancers, an association between typical paediatric neoplasms and inflammatory triggers is rare. We studied whether immune system related genes are activated and have prognostic significance in Ewing sarcoma family of tumours (ESFT). Experimental design: Data-analysis was performed on gene expression profiles of 44 ESFT patient, 11 ESFT cell line, and 18 normal muscle tissue samples. 238 inflammation related genes were selected based on literature and a macrophage gene expression signature was derived from SymAtlas. Differential expression of the genes was analysed by t-test and survival analysis was performed according to gene expression.
